Chapter Seven

Kate strode out to see Scott. A smile lit his face.

“Hi.”

“Did you put a tracker on me? Or do you have spies telling you where I am?”

He chuckled and wiggled his eyebrows. “Maybe both.”

She punched him lightly on the arm. “No need to give the rumor mill anything to talk about.”

“Well, I wanted to see if you had lunch yet. I got caught up in paperwork and forgot.”

“I got caught up at Jessica’s house. She’s going to put it on the market,” Kate said.

“Then it’s settled. We’ll go grab a bite,” Scott said.

He motioned for her to walk beside him. They were only a block off Main Street, so they could find something there.

“I wanted to make sure you were okay. I know the revelations about Greg’s passport rattled you.”

Kate looked up at the blue sky. She could see the haze and couldn’t wait for fall again. She didn’t like summer. She should have moved to a colder climate years ago, but then she’d married Greg. She guessed he could have taught anywhere, but she’d never thought about moving at that point.

“I went and talked to Carly. She helped me put it into perspective. A little bit, at least.”

“That’s good. At this point, I have no idea what he’d been doing in those places. I have some contacts in federal law enforcement I can tap to go a little further with the investigation.”

He’d only do that with her permission. He may not respect her boundaries when it came to dating, but he would when it came to Greg. She knew this.

“You want my permission?”

“Yes.”

“Go ahead. I have nothing to lose. I think I’m already questioning a big portion of my adult life. I didn’t know Greg at all. To me he was this professor who spoke at conferences all over the country. Not some guy who made quick trips to the Middle East on a regular basis,” Kate said.

“I wouldn’t question it yet.”

He held the door open for her to Daisy’s Luncheonette. Only a handful of tables were occupied. Daisy didn’t stay open for dinner, so it would be closing in the next hour.

It wasn’t a diner, but it wasn’t a full restaurant either. Kate could easily find something here to eat to make up for those cookies. A salad would do.

They sat at a table in the window then read the menus. A waitress came by, then took their drink orders. Kate was in the mood for a soda and it had caffeine in it. Scott chose iced tea.

“How can I not question it? He spent a lot of time lying to me.”

He looked over his menu at her. “But we don’t know why yet. It might have been for a good cause.”

Kate sighed. She didn’t have that feeling in her gut. She was sure this was bad. “That’s what Carly said.”

“Hold on to that until we know differently. This was your husband.”

Scott was right. She should give the man the benefit of the doubt. As far as she knew, he never cheated.
